My English teacher once called me a blithering idiot. I pissed myself.

I also like replacing 'a load of sh*t' with 'a crock of sh*t' these days.

I remember a school mate saying "Oh my days" to a teacher when told off... The teacher replied "Your days are numbered boy!". I laughed >:D

There's a place in the Lake District called Cockermouth too. I kid you not. I went there at Christmas time once.

[MadWorld74]

There's place somewhere on this isle called Felching...I kid you not.....getting back to topic...

I like to use...'Listen Lady (followed by spurious comments)'...annoys the hell outta do-Goders in the street who come up to me to tell me Jesus is my friend.

So let me get this straight, we're being close minded because we don't believe some japanese bloke who, while up a mountain, discovered a jedi-like way of focussing the universe's 'energies' is really on to anything.

But you're happy to dismiss christianity out of hand, one of the three pillars of Western European civilisation?!?!*

Or is it do-gooders (people who try to make other people happy) that you have an issue with?

*for the record, so am I.

[MadWorld74]

No problem with Christianity or any other religion. I just don't want it thrust down my neck by some woman in the Sainsbury's car park who takes it upon herself whilst I'm waiting for the bus to come up to me and tell me Jesus is my friend and then tries to get me to come to church with her.....THAT I have a problem with.

Oh and see the post on the Main Page of the Forum. We have another Reiki practitioner is our midst. She must read these threads, I think she'll be very interested.

My nana used to say "he's getting a bit above his station" i try to say it as often as possible, obviously when applicable not just randomly sperting it out.

Some northern expressions, I believe:

I could eat a scabby dog between two mattresses

She's got a rate set of top bollocks

[Mark]

"by the power of Greyskull"

(which I believe is the one true power)

[Brendan]

"For gods' sake woman!"

[Asset]

how many gods Brendan?

[Brendan]

All of them! And then some.

[hoipolloi]

Hurrah I am loving this thread

I like "yampy" which I think is a Brummie/West Mids expression, it is a bit tricky to explain without using other rubbish words. Used most often in the phrase "I've gone a bit yampy" it kind of explains that spaced out, slightly hysterical feeling you get when you're really hung over and then you get a sudden burst of energy. There, now you know!

[Keef]

I like "Is Right!" in a scouse accent.

Also, "Jobsagoodun", and love the word "Fugly" (tu)

[MadWorld74]

F*ck a duck......

[Brendan]

In the town I grew up in we have a peculiar way of brining someone?s intelligence into question by referring to them as either a ?clutch? a ?spanner? or my personal favorite a ?tappet?.

[Mark]

a phrase I heard regarding a lady who isn't pretty:

"she had a face like a bag of smashed crabs"

[Brendan]

Yeah I've heard "A face like a bag of spanners"

Don't know what it is about tools and car parts where I'm from. :-S

[Bleep]

"S**t yer face off*

[Keef]

Scouse saying "s/he had a face like a robber's dog".

[gurugobinsingh]

"BOBFOC"

Or to those not blessed with my immaturity. Body off Baywatch, Face off Crimewatch.
